Mitral regurgitation is a prevalent valvular disease, and its management has gained
increasing importance because of the aging population. Although traditional surgery …

OBJECTIVES Repair of the isolated degenerative anterior mitral leaflet has been considered
more challenging and associated with compromised durability compared with isolated …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to identify predictors of periprocedural success and
safety in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery and to determine the impact of pathology …

Importance The overall prevalence of mitral valve replacement (MVR) or MV repair at the
time of cardiac surgery in the setting of isolated anterior mitral leaflet degenerative …

Objective Anterior and bileaflet degenerative mitral regurgitation repairs are challenging. We
examined our early and late outcomes for repair using 4 techniques, without neochord …

In 2020, nearly 30,000 published references appeared in the PubMed for the search term
“cardiac surgery.” While SARS-CoV-2 affected the number of surgical procedures, it did not …

OBJECTIVES Mitral regurgitation due to anterior mitral leaflet lesions is associated with an
increased risk of mitral regurgitation recurrence after mitral valve repair compared with …

Mitral regurgitation is one of the most prevalent valvulopathies with a disease burden that
incurs significant healthcare costs globally. Surgical repair of the posterior mitral valve leaflet …

Background Women with mitral valve disease have higher rates of tricuspid regurgitation
(TR) than men. Although tricuspid valve repair (TVr) decreases the progression of TR, we …

Mitral valve repair (MVr) secondary to degenerative anterior/bi-leaflet mitral valve disease is
more challenging than posterior leaflet repair. However, conclusive evidence is needed to …
